Slight correction: out of the eight regional cuisines in China, Kuga specializes in Szechuan cooking which is known for its "ma la" flavor. The busty Chinese chick was just pissed that the other seven styles weren't represented.

Ah, kay kay. My memory's pretty hazy.

But that brings to mind another difference between Tsubasa and Kuga.

Tsubasa handles all the cooking himself, whereas Kuga has this whole troop of muscular baldies who follow his recipes.

Actually while rereading the chapters I realized that I needed to revise my rankings.

1; Rindou
2: Alice
3: Hanako
4: Alice's Mom

Can't believe I forgot Hanako.

I can't remember anything to contradict it though. The only times I remember them talking about their graduation rates are in chapter 1, chapter 4, and whatever chapter they introduce the people at the training camp.

I think it's less about being contradictory and more about being hella outlandish.

Strange as it sounds, I'm almost never enticed by anything that Souma cooks. In fact, when it comes to shokugekis and other competitions I'm almost always more interested in tasting his opponents' dish:

Nikumi's meat blossom roti don with A5 beef seems way more exquisite than the Souma's Chaliapin steak don. Frankly I just want to try super expensive well-marbled aged beef.
Mimasaka's beef stew seems more refined than Souma's crazy beef amusement park stew... it seems like way too much and it strays a little too far from the western entree theme. Plus, I'm worried that Souma's cooking method for the tenderloin wouldn't suit it. That poo poo should be rare/mid-rare at the most.
Nakiri's sushi bento box... oh Jesus get in my mouf.
Aldini's Japanese-Italian fusion style seared duck breast... duck is one of my favorite meats so hell yeah.

Birds > Mammals > Non-Fish Seafood > Fish

I don't like fish.

Nakiri's sushi box is the best dish ever shown in the manga, really just remarkable variety and presentation. It really proves that the scientific approach to cooking isn't just overthinking things.

Eizan's dish isn't really that special either and it's really quite funny that the judges are treating it as some super gourmet meal when it's just as commonplace as Soma's gyoza. It's just Hainan chicken and one can find it a bunch of different restaurants in most major cities making it.

Yeah but it's made by an Elite 10.
Bet the Hainan chicken in those restaurants aren't made by a fuckin' Elite 10 who's sole accomplishment is winning via bribery and losing to a non Elite 10.

Korean scans are out for the new chapter.

Holy loving poo poo this chapter.

Azami was a member of the dorm (3rd seat in his first year, and then 1st seat in his second year), and admired Souma's dad.

Also Souma tells Azami (and Erina happens to listen) to the fact that he's Jyoichiro's son.

The thing about Azami idolizing Jyoichiro is a bit weird though. When I read the spoilers earlier today I was sure it was made up.

Actually I just realized something. Since all the students in Tootsuki are below the legal drinking age in Japan, how would they handle courses on wine pairings? Or aperitifs and digestifs? They already have classes and tests based on all the other operations of a restaurant, and the use and savoring of wine would be pretty important. I know they certainly cook with the stuff at least: Souma has made at least two dishes using red wine in Tootsuki (Souma's boeuf bourguignon for Chapelle-sensei's French cooking class and the sauce for the Chaliapin steak don in his first Shokugeki).

Actually this would be a great plot arc. It'd be adorable to see how each of the characters react to getting accidentally drunk. Kurokiba especially.

TIPSY.

How is it possible to have been reading this for 150 chapters without noticing the dorm members have full blown drunken ragers where they they get hammered on Ryoko's fermented rice juice (homebrewed sake) and pass out in Marui's room on the floor? Did you just think they were falling asleep on the floor?

Kids need properly sleeping schedules to wake up refreshed the next morning.

Apparently bottled sikhye isn't even proper sikye but rather just sugared water with rice.

I am utterly devastated.

I do wonder what alcoholic sikye would taste like.

Never thought about equating amazake with sikye, that's pretty eye-opening.

Not like the "you would have beaten the old me but the current me has evolved" is particularly new, either. Souma himself used that phrase against Mimisaka or whatever his name was.

As did Kiriko from Iron Wok Jan, the best cooking manga ever.

I think their plan is to basically mass produce perfect 5 star cuisine by having restaurants follow an exact recipe which normal restaurants won't be able to compete with rather than outlawing them.

There wouldn't even be any competition because Azami's brand of restaurants would be way too expensive for regular people.

In fact this would only drive people towards cheaper restaurants and fast food chains.

IDK, it seems like it really got worse after she met Souma's dad and that's when her grandpa went, "what the gently caress"

She was already sort of a jerk even before her dad's training.

Granted she was also a kid.

Also her thinking Azami has a point seems hella elitist cause most people don't have her Tongue of God.

"Oh my tongue can taste these small imperfections that most people won't detect, clearly cooking is flawed."

I mean, I can understand her thinking cooking needs to be improved, but I dunno how Azami's regime is actually gonna change this.
